The Angry Drunk

I haven’t writ­ten much about the sup­pos­edly impend­ing Apple Tablet device, mainly because I’m not in the busi­ness of tech – prog­nos­ti­ca­tion. If you’ve lis­tened to the Angry Mac Bastards pod­cast then you may have heard me express my opin­ion that there will be an Apple tablet-esque device, and that what­ever it is, the ideas being bandied about by the major­ity of the tech media will be wrong.

Until now that is. John Gruber over at Daring Fireball recently posted an arti­cle that I think absolutely nails what the “iTablet” will and won’t be. Seriously, any pun­dit that claims to know Apple, and then pro­claims that the mag­i­cal mys­tery device will be an upscaled iPod Touch, or a touch – screen Macbook, or a ded­i­cated ebook reader should have his or her key­board confiscated.
